A Historic Italian Villa in Plymouth

391 Maple Street at the corner of Hamilton Street there stands this remarkable Italian Villa. Built circa 1879 by John Hood. When it was first built it was right next to the Plymouth Fairground for all to admire. John had visited Italy in the late 1870′s and returned to Plymouth wanting to build a home that was inspired by the homes he saw over there. This Italian Villa style home had an addition in 1887. Mr. Hood’s daughter Marion was born in this home and she lived here with her Husband (Mr. Curtis) until 1926.
